Volkswagen is the bedrock of the VW Group lineup, and the immobilizer platform Audi, Porsche, and (in part) Bentley share originated here. Modern VWs use the MQB or MQB-Evo platform with IMMO5 encryption. Jetta, Tiguan, Atlas, Passat, and Golf cover most of our VW work. The most useful thing to know about VW keys: pre-MQB cars (mostly pre-2014) are dramatically cheaper to program than MQB cars. The MQB platform requires advanced equipment, longer security sessions, and more expensive blanks — but the upside is much stronger anti-theft protection. We service both generations on-site.
Pre-2010
Pre-2010 VWs use IMMO3 or IMMO4 with the basic transponder key. Cheap and fast — typical Jetta of this era is one of the most affordable European jobs we do.
2010 – 2017
2010–2014 VWs span the IMMO4 to MQB transition. Always confirm the exact ECU code before quoting — the same Jetta model year can have either platform depending on production date.
2018 – Now
2015-and-newer VWs use the MQB or MQB-Evo platform. KESSY proximity smart key is standard on most modern trims. We support the full lineup on-site.

Volkswagen key FAQ
Can you program an MQB Volkswagen key without the dealer?+
Yes. We program every MQB-platform VW (2014+ Jetta, Tiguan, Atlas, Passat, Golf, ID.4) on-site using the latest MQB-Evo equipment. Plan on 60–90 minutes for a spare and 90–120 minutes for all-keys-lost.
How much does a VW key cost vs the dealer?+
VW spare keys run $179–$295 on-site depending on model. Compare to VW dealer quotes of $400–$900 plus a 1–2 week wait for a programmed blank to arrive.
Is the ID.4 key different from the gas Tiguan key?+
Same MQB platform, different fob shell. ID.4 needs the additional 'wake' step on the high-voltage system — 5 extra minutes vs a gas Tiguan.
